Windows Design Dilemma Bedroom

Looking for advice on window treatments

3 years ago

We have a newly built house. Windows at the front of the house have grids (east facing) while windows at the back of the house have no grids (west facing). The houses directly across from us are arranged such that they'd be able to see in if we have our window coverings open. As such, we're looking for a combination of light filtering and privacy, as well as blackout functionality for the bedrooms and maybe? the TV room.

In terms of aesthetic, we like a clean, minimal and natural look. Generally, muted and natural color tones appeal to us.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations! Lovely.

I would do an inside mount blind top down bottom up for privacy and light control. Blinds.com has always been my choice for a wide range of styles and options.

they often have great sales. easy to DIY.

then layer with drapery panels where you need/want additional decor. I like continuity throughout the home, complimentary, but different colors and styles. Not all rooms need the same thing, as you say TV and bedroom for lined shades, others privacy and/or light control.

Would you say your style is more modern or traditional?

We like the japandi style (not really sure if that’s classified as modern or traditional)
